Red Hat There seem to be many reviews on Red Hat 9.0, but all seem to be written by Linux junkies who really know their stuff. What about the MS Windows Convert? They say people like the first thing they use (i.e. if you learn to drive a manual transmission, you prefer it over automatic). If this is true, how does Red Hat 9.0 introduce a novice pc user to the world of computers? I hope to answer some of those questions in this tiny review.

Always the same...

I always see the same problem: Linux not ready for the desktop!
-Well, in fact it is, but not having allot of commercial apps and giving the UNIX legacy makes it harder for the average Windows user to understand diferent concepts. I like Linux, and in fact I can get my work done with it, even far better than with Windows. It has its issues, and the another major problem is the different Linux distros who make each and apply diferent patches or make modifications to programs, and the end result is incopatibility. But in the end all this will be fixed. I use Mandrake 9.1 right now (gone away for a while from Slackware). Wish you all best luck, and don't be discouraged by Linux, because it is great for work, office, and programming, especialy that everyone gets great dev tools for free, and they help learn.
